Clay Bottom Farm internships are for those with a passion for small-scale farming, ideally persons seriously considering farming as a career.  Your work could be alone or in groups, and is often fast-paced.  We ask that you show up on time and ready for work in all kinds of weather.  We appreciate folks who can take direction when required and also help us discover better ways to get a job done.  We are also artists, and interns would have access to studio space.
